Performance of Stainless Steel

Strength Vs Corrosion Resistance
Stainless Steel Performance by Sunnik Trusted Liquid Storage Panel Tank Supplier
  • Moda – Mildly corrosive environments (PRE up to 17)
  • Core – Corrosive environments (PRE 17 to 22)
  • Supra – Highly corrosive environments (PRE 22 to 27)
  • Forta – Duplex and other high strength (PRE 18 to 43)
  • Ultra – Extremely corrosive environments (PRE > 27)
Elongation vs corrosion resistance
Stainless Steel Performance by Sunnik Trusted Liquid Storage Panel Tank Supplier

Values for Rp 0.2 yield strength and the A80 for elongation are according to EN 10088-2 min. values for cold rolled strip. Chemical compositions and PRE calculations are based on Outokumpu typical values. Please see values for other product forms at steelfinder.outokumpu.com

Note: No stainless steel survives more than 8% HCI concentration at room temperature.
